Improved

Raise exception when column is already defined

With this change, migrations will raise an exception when defining an already defined column.

Align Time.zone.at method signature with that of Time::at

ActiveSupport::TimeZone#at now accepts an optional second argument, containing (fractional) microseconds, just like Ruby's Time::at does.

Avoid allocating column names where possible

When requesting columns names from database adapters, ActiveRcord:Result used to dup/freeze column names. This change prefers using fstrings, which cuts down on repeat allocations.

Fixed

Parent record should not get saved with duplicate children records

Before this fix a duplicated child relations validation error didn't propagate to the parent record, but now it is all fixed.
